Manase Fainu

There are serious concerns about his shoulder. He still trains with the team and his shoulder pops out and requires rehab. He has had infections in there and all sorts of drama with it. There is every chance that Fainu is Michael Morgan Mark II.
That would be tragic if he becomes MM II . Hopefully it is not the case .

Agree. I guess the difference is Morgan was 29 when he retired. Fainu is 22. He has a lot more to lose so I imagine he will fight tooth and nail to get back. Morgan has three children, has won a premiership and by the time he would get back on the field, he'd be 30+ years old. He may have figured the constant rehab and potential for 'lifetime' damage just wasn't worth the effort.

In saying that, the purpose of my post was to indicate that regardless of his trial verdict, we are not out of the woods with the 9 issue at the club.

That is a real challenge for sure

But the biggest disability to each of us is not having the courage to over come adversity and pursue our passions

One of the most Inspiring acts of courage and determination to succeed comes from one of our Greatest backs of all time Brett Stuart who overcame the destructive diabetes

I believe Manase has the character and the courage to prevail
 
If he comes out as not guilty, surely he has a huge case to sue the NRL for financial losses, loss of potential sponsorships, financial benefits of not making representative teams and the big one, character defamation. The slur will make it quite difficult for him to work again with certain groups eg children etc. We saw what it did to Brett Stewart and even De Belin.

All from climbing the fence and fleeing the scene of the crime.

Fair Dinkum, my shoulder pops in and out lying on one side in the bed at night.... it ain't that bad. I just pop it back in. My wife still expects me to do jobs around the house with no sympathy.

Give the guy half a glass of cement and tell him to toughen up!
 
Speaking of gloves......

The ones that the doctor uses to check my prostate are the ones i fear most
I think you need to see a new Doc, I fear yours may have issues, the old digit test is not the go to any more, technology has come a long way in a short time, I would explore your options before letting your Doc explore yours.

There is a PSA blood test but the feel by the finger is more accurate
Some guys like it though . They love it
